DIY Van Tour | Solo Female Van Life

After almost a YEAR, the van build is done! Today I'm taking you on a tour of my new tiny home on wheels that I am now living in with my pup, Terra.
While this project presented with a lot of challenges, and pushed me in ways that I didn't know were possible, I am ending the van build series with confidence and excitement for the adventures that lie ahead.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way - whether it was a helping hand, tools, or words of encouragement, I wouldn't be here without my community❤️

I'm curious, what would you do differently in your own van?

[@nicovanzyl1979]

Nico 😘🤗😍

[@lorrieaustin4997]

Have a indoor shower.

[@SheRoamsWild]

Would be so fancy/nice!

[@lorrieaustin4997]

@@SheRoamsWild Yes it would be nice. I also would have a portable laptop washer and dryer as well. The indoor shower would be used if traveling in the winter

What a beautifully designed and built van! And you're so well spoken and easy to listen to. I wish you well on all your new full time van travels.

[@SheRoamsWild]

Thank you so much, it’s been an incredible journey so far❤️

[@tarek4955]

I agree, it’s so cozy in here☺️❤️

[@MalikUmrani]

Wow! Great Van Tour Love it and Nice Place

[@contrafax]

Such an awesome build.

[@mattgallizioli5978]

Wow thanks for the tour of the van!

[@immgrntsrus]

Cool van! Really beautiful and I love the wood. I’d agree about the speaking speed. It stresses me out a bit 😅 and it would be hard for non-native speakers to understand. Keep up the good work!

[@SheRoamsWild]

Thank you!☺️❤️🚐

[@homebase967]

You are so cute!! And so is your sweet dog!!🌺

[@SheRoamsWild]

Thank you! She is the best pup :)

[@zaynabmallory3008]

Beautiful build!! I love the clothing storage under bed from the INSIDE.. always wondered why thats not the norm for vanlife. I would totally have the same set up.

[@SheRoamsWild]

It’s been so awesome!! Plus some storage for the off season - I love it☺️

[@greggm7056]

This is my first ALW video, that's an impressive van! And I totally agree with Miranda Folland and couldn't have said it better myself, "you're so well spoken and easy to listen to".

[@SheRoamsWild]

So kind! Thank you Gregg, happy to have you here☺️❤️🚐

[@starfire7779]

So cool. Like what you have done.

[@SheRoamsWild]

Thank you so much!☺️❤️🚐

[@sonyacallahan2563]

Wow, what a beautiful set up, you did such an amazing job on your van build, it would be easy to live in there, And you did this all by yourself, maybe you should custom build vans for people, that would be a great job, if I were as talented as you, I would definitely consider something like that. But I'm sure you have a ton of other things planned, mostly anything evolving outdoor activities since you seem to be into a little bit of everything, how nice to be so smart and know what you want at such a young age, good for you... that's huge in life, continue on your fabulous journeys, thank you for sharing them, very inspiring to see you and all that your doing , absolutely fantastic 😀

[@davidvincent2nd757]

Very nice build . I subscribed . Everything looks comfortable and having your clothes like that really frees up your cabinets .

[@SheRoamsWild]

Thank you David! I really love the setup and the amount of storage space I have - especially since my upper cabinets have been taken over by my pup😅 happy to have you here!

[@BlackDogDesigns]

Wow, you did an absolutely beautiful Van build, stay safe out there and safe travels🚐

As a 67-year-old female who has lived in her car, a wonderful camper van, Tank, and a minivan, I have watch ed literally hundreds and hundreds of videos since 2014! Really, All I can say is, why did God bless some of you young folks with so much brains?! You heard the old saying I must have been behind the door when God was handing out brains! I joke on my channel about having one brain cell and I am not far off! Sweetie that is the most awesome van I have ever seen! Truly! I would not need anything nearly that fancy as I am mostly, an urban dweller in Southern California. I rarely cook in my van, drive-thrus are my best friend! I do have a kittyLily, I'm trying to get used to my minivan before I move back in. Wish me luck! 🤣 I want to do my tiny Honda Odyssey as simply as possible with as little investment as possible except for things that will be transferable. I want to eventually, get a rig of some sort that I can stand in. I really regret selling Tank! One of the things that's most important to me is being able to bathe a step farther than baby wipes. I plan to have a small tub in my minivan! If I did not have this little trailer and beautiful yard to take care of, I could binge watch your videos and that would make me so happy, but I will get to all of them! Thank you for the beautiful videos and I will pray for your new adventures! I want to find out what your nonprofit is all about! Love ya! 💜🙏🤗

[@SheRoamsWild]

Thank you so much for your kind words and story, Debra! Sounds like you have really figured out what you need and works best for you - that is so exciting! I am sure your kitty loves it too :) Love how we all have different needs, but are able to meet them in similar ways while living on the road. So happy to have you here! :)

[@whiteeulogianraven7995]

Curious and cruel thing called time, it's been a while since the first video, time flies when having fun, apparently. What a journey, now the Odyssey is taking shape.

[@SheRoamsWild]

Such a wild journey over this past year! Thank you for being here through it all :)

[@laur-unstagenameactuallyca1587]

you're living my dreams, and a lot of people's. I hope I get the courage someday

[@SheRoamsWild]

I hope you are able to get out there as well!

My 3rd time watching. I'm enjoying and I SUBSCRIBED. Only suggestion if you're taking any: love your voice however you tend to speak fast for me✌

[@SheRoamsWild]

Happy to have you here! And you aren’t the first person to mention it - I’ll try to keep that in mind😅 thank you :)

@@SheRoamsWild , Hey Alex! New subscriber too. I too was thinking boy she can talk fast, but don't feel bad because I also do as well and have to try to be aware of it. I also passed the fast taking gene on to my daughter 🤣, Anyway I would also think it might be nerves getting used to doing this. So this is really my second video so I didn't watch your van build but you did a great job .If you did it by yourself oh my gosh and I'm so impressed. These are qualities I do not possess. I love how you did your bed so you don't have to worry about putting it together everyday and I like your little work area and seating area I think you did such a good job on that. I'm going to keep watching you and see how you're doing but please be careful out there and be safe.. I spend a lot of time alone due to health issues but I hope you don't feel too lonely and I'm glad you have your cute little doggie..Take care..Sally from Md..🚐✌💕

[@Debrajoy]

@@sallyl5071 isn't it wonderful to have access to so much to keep ourselves entertained if we cannot get out and about anymore! I still can but I would be so grateful to have so much to keep me busy and I'm sure my time is coming! I'm alone but it doesn't really bother me! 💜🤗

You can change the speed by clicking the little gear at the bottom right of the video if it bothers you so much. That's on you, not her.
